Chapter 147 I’ll Give You One (Alas!)



The two returned to the big kitchen and simply prepared two dishes and a soup for lunch.

In the afternoon, Jiang Baiying suggested that Xia Yu should go and do what he had to do, and there was no need to stay behind to give her extra lessons.

"It's okay, I can still spare some time."

Faced with Xiao Jiang's kindness, Xia Yu declined.

"Then I'll have to trouble you again, Senior."

"Don't be so formal. It's not a bother at all. We should all learn and improve together!"

After working together to wash the pots and pans, the two went to the study in the master bedroom and began their long-lost study and mutual assistance.

Xia Yu was not used to it because he had taken a week off to travel, but now he is back on track.

During the pure English communication, he found that Jiang Baiying was making rapid progress, but he had fallen behind her in many knowledge points due to his busy schedule in the past period of time.

What I learned this week was more about the theory and practice of restaurant management, so I didn’t talk too deeply with Jiang Baiying.

The sun was setting, and several hours passed in the blink of an eye. When they finished studying and left the study, they found that Uncle Tai had returned.

After all, he is still an employee of Chaolu Farm. Even if the work is not as high-intensity as 996 or 007, he still has to do tasks such as milking, weeding, loosening the soil and watering.

By the way, Xia Yu hasn’t come here much recently, so the job of sending vegetables, eggs and milk to the house has been given to Uncle Tai.

"Boss, Miss Jiang, you are here!"

Uncle Tai greeted the two of them.

"Yeah, I came here this afternoon. Uncle Tai, I see there are a lot more chickens in the chicken coop."

The chicken coop is located in a few acres of woods on the farm, and the duck coop is located in dozens of acres of water and a sandbar in the center of the lake. Previously, there were fewer chickens than ducks, but now the number has increased.

"Yes, Boss, you ordered it before, but it will take more than a month for them to grow up."

The decision to expand production was made in advance. Even the Wanfeng Farm next door has started raising chickens. They are all free-range chickens raised in the woods, and they taste very good.

With just these high-quality agricultural products, at most you can just run a high-end farm stay. But if you want to open a restaurant in the center of Shanghai, you need the careful cooking of senior chefs.

Maybe you can also make hot pot, chicken pot, old duck pot, etc. Xia Yu can guarantee that the taste is good, but these don’t match the interior decoration of the villa itself.

The Hui Ge Hotpot restaurant that Xia Yu had eaten at before was also located above a villa. However, the ingredients they provided were of higher quality, which Xia Yu could not compare with at all.

Taking all of this into consideration, his plan is to find a talented chef to cook traditional Chinese food based on the farm's output.

This is also the reason why he is still examining candidates for head chef even though the restaurant renovation is more than halfway completed.

Xia Yu has roughly chosen candidates for the positions of cashier, accountant, and manager, but he has not yet found anyone he likes for chef.

It seems that he will have to go to more restaurants these weekends. As a real foodie, if he can conquer Xia Yu's taste buds, then conquering most people will not be a problem.

If you find such a person and have a headhunter recruit him, the restaurant will be halfway to success.

Such behavior seems to be unethical. If you can make a living by your skills, why can't you change jobs?

It was the boss's problem that he couldn't increase the salary. Xia Yu poached people, and when someone offered a higher price to poach his chef, he welcomed it with open arms.

After chatting with Uncle Tai for a while, Xia Yu took seven or eight one-liter boxes of milk into the car and gave most of them to Xiao Jiang.

"Take some back for your parents to try. When Xiaohua grows up, the farm's milk production will also be expanded."

"I see Xiaohua has been weaned for a long time. Can't she still produce milk?"

After hearing what Xia Yu said, Jiang Baiying asked curiously.

"A dairy cow, it has to give birth to a calf before it can produce milk. I plan to breed her in the second half of the year. If the offspring is still a female, I'll give it to you!"

The milk produced by the two cows is enough for Xia Yu to add another ice cream production line, and if there is surplus, he can also add another cheese machine.

As for the newborn calf, it was given to Xiao Jiang as a gift. Of course, only a rich woman who also owns a farm can afford to raise such a big pet.

"Really?"

Jiang Baiying looked at Xia Yu with sparkling eyes.

In fact, she loves animals very much, but Wanfeng Farm is too empty. Even if she raises hundreds of chickens, she would rather raise some spiritual animals.

A loving cow is a good choice.

"That's not true. We agreed that you would take the baby home as soon as he's weaned."

Hearing Xia Yu say this, Jiang Baiying felt excited but also a little disappointed.

She felt sad because she was going abroad in the second half of the year, and even if she could come back, it would be next summer vacation. By then, the calf would have grown up, let alone been weaned.

"Get in the car, I'll take you home!"

After closing the trunk, Xia Yu invited Jiang Baiying to get in the car. This time he didn't notice her disappointment.

Having not touched the steering wheel for a long time, he felt that his driving skills had regressed a bit, but the powerful performance of the sports car still allowed him to navigate the traffic like a duck in water.

Because he deliberately avoided the evening rush hour, Xia Yu drove to the Riverside Arc de Triomphe in just over an hour.

It was still some time before dinner time, so he planned to go home and chill the milk.

As for the vegetables, he took half a box of eggs to make breakfast. Xia Yu planned to eat lunch and dinner outside for the next few days.

The elevator reached the 16th floor. Jiang Baiying watched Xia Yu continue to walk up and returned home with four or five boxes of milk.

"Bai Ying is back, why did you bring so much milk?"

Seeing her daughter come back, Bai Lu came out and greeted her.

"My classmate gave it to me. Oh, Dad, he's been busy lately and won't be free until next month."

"No rush, let them do their work first. It won't be too late to eat after they're done."

Jiang Lei, who was sitting on the sofa, put down his phone and said, he didn't know that this was Xia Yu's excuse.

"Lao Jiang, look at how exquisitely the milk is made. I wonder if we can raise a dairy cow at home someday!"

Bai Lu took two boxes of milk from Jiang Baiying and handed one to Jiang Lei.

"We can't afford to drink all the milk if we raise one at home!"

Looking at the carton of milk with the "Chaolu Farm" label, Jiang Lei was also curious. His daughter's classmate is really good at having fun!

"Stupid, there are two women in our family. We can't take a milk bath if we can't finish it!"

Bai Lu rolled her eyes at her husband and said.

She is in her forties, but looks like she is only in her thirties. It's because she takes good care of herself. When she walks with her daughter, people think they are sisters!

Milk baths do have a great effect on women, but the cost is a bit expensive.

Raw milk contains bacteria, and it is troublesome to boil large quantities, so either milk powder or pasteurized milk is used. Even if you only fill half a bathtub, the amount used is astonishing.

The Jiang family is not short of money, but buying one directly would be boring. However, it would be very interesting if they raised a dairy cow at home.

"No, my classmate said his cow gave birth to a calf. If it's a female, he'll give one to our family."

Jiang Baiying's words instantly aroused the couple's interest.
